This site is dedicated to obscure and almost useless information. Being anorak is not sufficient in the pursuit of the truly esoteric. Ultimate success is achieved when the visitor discovers things they actually wanted to know, even though the question had never arisen.

The subject of this worthy endeavour is Riley motor cars manufactured before 1938 – the wonderful Coventry Rileys. It is intended to record as many aspects as possible which are not already well documented - including construction details, restoration techniques and my amateur tricks tested over many years.

This site is under continuing contruction. Please forgive the many errors and omissions!
